Great improvment.
Suggestion... spray the front inner fenders to freshen them up.

Since you asked for it I'll give you my opinion.

-Get new rims
-Ditch the stick on chrome door handles and colormatch them
-Ditch the molding
-Cut off the stock exhaust tip
-Clear all your front end lights
-Colormatch everything grill,mirrors, handles,etc

My .02. I would get rims with alittle better offset first. Color match the handles and get rid of the molding.

But looks alot better man.
